MaxCell is the only flexible fabric innerduct system designed for the network construction
industry. MaxCell innerduct conforms to the shape of the cables placed within, reducing
space typically associated with rigid innerducts.
3" 3-Cell Maxcell is designed for use in 3" or larger conduits. The 3" 3-Cell product is
designed to hold cables up to 1.03" in diameter in each cell. Up to 3 packs can be placed in
a 4" conduit.
Why MaxCell?
Save on network construction
As the pioneer in fabric innerduct technology, MaxCell has the industry experience and know how to
develop unique solutions for specific application issues. Whether overbuild of an existing network or
the deployment of cable in a new FTTH system, MaxCell can help you select the right product and
right design to maximize the efficiency of your assets.
Independent surveys and actual field experience prove that MaxCell is a revolutionary product
that reduces material and labor costs by 50% & more in most applications. Installers and network
engineers can cut conduit installation time in half, and increase cable installation speed.
If you want to increase your productivity and boost your bottom line, Maxcell is the solution.

Application: Overbuild
Problems
•Existing outer ducts occupied with cables and/or PE rigid inner ducts
•Desire not to utilize last empty duct(s) (high congestion)
•Microducts difficult to blow in occupied ducts with high fill ratio
•Rigid innerducts may damage existing cables
MaxCell Solution
•Pull MaxCell over existing cables or innerduct (Overlay) allowing additional cable(s)
to be pulled in dedicated pathway
General Benefits
During the installation of cables or while flushing out the conduit structure we recommend affixing MaxCell to a
permanent object in the manhole. A metal clasp or pull tape can be used to accomplish this task.
In Multiple Cell MaxCell Packs, is there a particular order for installing cables?
We recommend installing cables starting from the bottom cell and working up through the packs.

When installing MaxCell in OSP applications, do you install from manhole to manhole or pull through multiple
manholes?
Either. MaxCell is very easy to install and many customers pull MaxCell through multiple manholes in a single pull to save
time.
After MaxCell has been installed, and cables have been installed, can another pack of MaxCell be installed?
Yes, MaxCell can be incrementally installed. One pack can be installed now and another pack installed later. This is a major
benefit of MaxCell. For this reason, we recommend that a spare pull rope be installed along with the MaxCell pack.
How do contaminants (e.g. mud, silt, water ) affect the ability to pull throurgh MaxCell?
In conduits where contaminants may be suspected, we recommend flushing the duct with water prior to placing cables
within MaxCell. Similar to rigid innerduct, cable pulling tensions may increase due to the presence of these contaminants.
For non-watertight applications, inflatable bag termination systems are recommended. These
bags, when inflated by CO2, compress to the structure of the cable placed. This method offers
a silt, water, and chemical resistant solution.
